We had been advised to visit by friends and family and we were not disappointed. A beautiful place and a fitting tribute to Steve Irwin's memory. This must be animal heaven for the creatures that live there and certainly the best zoo we have been to. Lovely clean spaces, educational and fun and th crocoseum was a great show and... More

We have been to Australia Zoo a few times, with and without our young children. Most recently with them, we found it a very expensive day out considering by about 1-2pm they were tired of looking at animals. We found the queues for the pony rides very long, and the shows not suitable for young children - too much talking... More

My first time at Australia Zoo, after various friends and family insisting that I must go whilst I was visiting the Gold Coast. The weather was absolutely gorgeous - we arrived in the morning and spent the whole day there leaving around 4-30 in the afternoon. It is a must see for all, I could not believe that a wildlife...

Everyone worldwide knew Steve Irwin from his zany tv programmes, love of animals and passion for conservation.The zoo has his charatcter all over it. We were staying on the coast at Mooloolaba and the zoo was one of our must visit places - we were not disappointed. The zoo is well signed from the Bruce highway and then onto the... More

This was an absolute thrill to visit. The crocs were something to see, but it wasn't all. Feeding kangaroos and wallabies by hand was a thrill for our children. The chance to see so much unique wildlife up close was something we will always cherish and remember. We are grateful we had this opportunity to visit - a once in... More

It was my 2nd time around after 14yrs & I loved the setting & esp seeing some of the large lizards freely walking about. A little sad with the snakes & birds esp with the knowledge of staff & management in regards to animals - I didn't like them so contained in an unnatural looking environment. Great 3hrs spent &...

This was our 3rd visit to the Zoo and we are amazed at the effort to make it possible for us (the visitors) to interact with the wildlife. The most impressive activity was the crocodile feeding and the free flight of the birds. The wedge tail eagle free flight was awsome. More
